Third ICSI July 2005 BFP and praying it continues!! 6, 8, 12, 13(Nuchal) 20, 25 and 28 week scans successful! Emily Ann Cane born 8.4.06 - more beautiful than we could have imagined
I know this is 2 days before test date but I've more or less given up. I'm getting some spotting which is getting heavier, though so far still only when I go to the loo. But it's definitely fresh blood, so not a good sign.
I also gave in and used the old HPT in the cupboard which expired in June. Came up -ve as expected, but the little control line which shows the test works did come up. I know it's expired but even so. I may still test on Thursday (another HPT) but I don't hold out much hope now. Perhaps I was kidding myself at my age.
thanks for all the support

You have come so far NEVER give up hope. Even if this time didn't work there is always next time, you have some lovely frosties don't you?
I am sure there is a reason the clinic make you wait to test for 14 days so hang on in there,you have been so strong dont give up now.
(((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I don't know how much I can bear raising my hopes again. DH was getting so strung out that he rang the clinic and they said, yes I might have tested too soon and that if the spotting doesn't become a fullscale bleed then test again in a few days. But I can almost feel it becoming a flow, rather than spotting, even though it still isn't actually happening yet.
And yes, we do have 2 frosties, though we haven't yet agreed what to do with them. Basically we agreed that this would be our last attempt - what DH meant by this was, literally this ET only, whereas what I meant was using whatever embies came from this round of EC. Didn't discover this misunderstanding til we were quite a long way into the process. We compromised on keeping our options open by freezing the embies, but we haven't agreed that we'll definitely do it again. I can see where he's coming from. They gave us a 10% chance of it working this time and their success rate with frosties is 50% lower. So do we want to go through this agony again when it's 95% likely to fail?
It's not a question for today, so I'm not we're not even talking about it. Need to get through this first. I know there's still an outside chance, I just don't really believe it'll come through.
Thanks for the support

Caroline - these couple of extra days can make all the difference. Pls don't give up now. You've been through so much and been so strong ... just hold on another couple of days. A little blood means nothing.
